Gold for Bitcoin Payment Invoices & Bitcoin Wallet Compatibility

To prevent bitcoin price swings from hurting bitcoin accepting merchants or users, BitPay requires transactions currently to be sent within 15 minutes of invoice issuance. The majority of bitcoin exchanges cannot send payments that quickly. Late gold for bitcoin payments will be cancelled and need to be refunded. This will cost everyone time and potentially capital. Thus BitPay now requires all gold for bitcoin payments to be made with a payment protocol compatible software or hardware wallet.
